The Remy Fund for Pets and Animal Services awards grants to organizations that support traditional companion animals—specifically cats, dogs, and horses. The fund prioritizes rescue/shelter programs, spay/neuter initiatives, animal-assisted therapy, and education and advocacy for the humane treatment of these animals. Established in 2010 to honor Ken Jackson’s late dog Remy, the fund has since awarded over $500,000 to various animal organizations.
